but yes i was very wrong about kadri. it was a magnificent ride. basically nibali,reda & co couldn't close in 30 + km a gap of 1'30'' which says to me that kadri wasn't today only the strongest rider from breakaway but probably one of the strongest from the whole peloton. absolutely deserved
gorgeous place for a bike race, it was a win to have this back

Oh poor thing. Wasn't he working with the other riders with 3Km to go to catch Kadri? Maybe he should pay more attention since he was near the front.jens_attacks said:always sad when the riders haven't enough info and they made themselves look foolish like pippo today. just put yourself in their place. you won the race and then when you want to high five with your soigneur he's hiding because he's embarassed. that's not exciting

rhubroma said:Thanks. If you are interested in the figure, then the late Michael Grant's monograph is still a valid study. Cheers.
search said:no, he wasn't, he was one group further back. Bole didn't know as well, he thought they were sprinting for the win.
In the end this might have even been to Kadri's advantage. The bunch took ~half of his gap between kilometers 12 and 6 to go but just another ~10 seconds on from there. Maybe they did not want to catch that group with Nibali and so on too early
But I'm just guessing of course, and Kadri did a magnificent race, no disrespect to him
